IIRC, MtG was in the US Army, and served in Somalia during that time. I'd think he know's a bit about it, eh?

cheering at soldiers getting killed?


One American soldier is killed in Afghanistan. The news is broadcast worldwide so that everyone gets to hear about it. His name is cried out loud on television, a huge scene is made of it! WOW! Another worthless piece of trash brought to you by CNN! Is that supposed to make me feel sorry for him!?

Who are you to say that Somalis dragging the bodies of dead American soldiers is worse than American bombs killing thousands of innocents.

When the Americans claim its collateral damage, it makes it allright? All the Americans here who agree with this mode of thinking are no better than the naive Iraqis who cheer for Saddam.

MtG, I honestly feel sorry for you. Just a soldier who was dragged along to go where his country (government) wanted him to. Pity.
And he believed he was doing the right thing.

Why do I get the feeling that "leftish"="disagree with the mainstream political enterpretation" or "disagree with everything the US does". If that is a correct interpretation then I must say I don't think that world view is very mature...

Dom,
You must be one dumb son-of-a-***** or twelve years old. One thing you learn about MTG, that he can discuss taxes, politics, sports or world affairs with intellect on the subject, not just shooting off his mouth, like you, cause you have a hair up your ass about Americans. It is funny how cowards like you never want us or think you need us until somebody puts a Saddam on your border and you start crying for the USA to come out and save your ass with our soldiers and military but once the deed is done you go back to hating us. I am truly believing the USA should become isolationists and bring all our food, money and military home and when something goes wrong, all you can go screw yourself and when somebody attacks us we will just annihilate the problem and go back home and save billions to the taxpayers.
You can go **** yourself repeatedly.

There is no argument here except in your head. It's easy to troll about something as emotional as this. You don't really see the position MTG or anyone that has been involved in the situation like this feels. The only person that has made this USA against The world is you. Even MTG stated that the US ****ed up many things in response to Somalia. Your response is to say you would sit and eat popcorn. Thats not trolling, its showing the attitude of a six year old. Once again, the only arguments are in your own little world. I'm not mad at you. I feel sorry for you.

One of the things I learned over the weekend is that part of the problem between the US and the locals was cultural. Apparently, in Somolia it is considered a grave insult to show someone the bottom of your foot. It is the equivalent of flipping someone the bird. Now, all these soldiers flying around in choppers with their feet hanging out are basically flipping off all of Mogadishu. Completely unintentional on our part, but it seriously pissed off the locals, who were just as unaware that we didn't know.

That's just one little thing.

Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

Dom got me so pissed I forgot to mention the movie. I went to it on Friday, damn good movie with some good humor. The funniest part is the deaf guy part, but that is about as funny as the movie gets, great job by Brukheimer but what would expect from the guy who brought you Top Gun, Armageddon, Bad Boys, Pearl Harbor, and the hit series CSI.

The only thing I think the General could have done is get the 10th Mountain division in there sooner to help out, but I understand the 10th was under Paki control which is bullshit to begin with, I don't know if the General could have gotton the 10th Division in there sooner by negociating with the Paki General but that is the only thing I could see that he could have tried harder in, right after the first Black Hawk went down.

Did they recover all the bodies of the Special Forces?

Why? Soldiers going into combat know the risks. It is their job to take these risks. While it is all very unfortunate (it is not nice when anyone dies - including the Somalis) you shouldn't feel bad about it. They were paid to die. **** happens.

Oh, Defiant, how you hate the rest of the world and see other countries as cowards.

The Saddams of the world that America created, along with all the Bin Ladens. Such double sided policy. The United States helps the Kurds in Iraq because Saddam is killing them, but in Turkey the United States is against the Kurds because they are the terrorists.

You better believe it! I found the popcorn a bit funny. If you think it's too strong, you don't have to read it. Go bury your head in a pillow and cry over Sept 11. It certainly paled in comparison to what some of the Americans here have posted about other countries and peoples of the world.

Yea Dom,
We create all the bad guys in the world, we have that much power.
I didn't say countries are cowards, only you.

Bin Laden, that's nice, we help him to take our Russia a mutual enemy of the time and then we leave, we have no obligation to rebuild that country, they could be speaking Russia right now. If we would have stayed and rebuilt that country and we would be regarded as imperialists, you see, it is a no win situation. He really hates us for having a presence in Saudi, once again, USA please come in and take out the evil Saddam so that Saudi doesn't become the next Kuwait with your military and boys to die so we can keep selling you oil and become even richer and oh yea when you are done get your imperialist ass off our country.
That is such bullshit, Iraq, Kuwait and to some extent Saudi should be subject of the United States.
Before you open your trap you should look at it from our point of view.

Sure. The point Dom is making is that the US has no reservations in supporting passively the genocide of a people by a regime if it suits her interests while on the same time helping the very same people in overthrowing another regime which doesn't suit her interests.
